Emily Witt’s Future Sex begins in what is, perhaps, the least romantic settings imaginable: a public health clinic. Witt finds herself there, being tested for chlamydia after sleeping with a friend, a casual encounter that had little to do with commitment or dating or love; a familiar experience in the era of what…

According to a concerning trend piece on the current ‘dating apocalypse’ of twentysomethings, hookup culture has hit a critical mass of excess and indulgence, and the kids are not alright—they are, in fact, all fucked out with nobody to love. RIP going steady.

Yes, it's harder for women to have an orgasm with a partner they don't know well, if at all, according to ample evidence provided by the New York Times' Natalie Kitroeff. Color me shocked, perhaps with some Nars Orgasm and/or G-Spot blush.

Sorry, trend-piece writers, you sweet and clueless scribes: it's really, really time to cast aside your moral panic and that blunt reed you were planning on using to inscribe upon a clay tablet a record of the strange mating habits of the college-aged millennial. "Hookup culture" is just not a thing.

We already knew that hookup trend pieces were boring and overwrought and full of fear-mongering, but there's another, even more concrete reason they should be ignored: like many trend pieces, they're only about white people.

New York Times reporter Kate Taylor's piece "Sex on Campus: She Can Play That Game, Too" caused quite a hubbub at this site and many others – so much so that the author is now doing the media circuit, arguing that she's "surprised" by the negative reaction to a story that we've seen time and time and time again.

Can you imagine ever reading a story about how guys have it so good while they are young men, only to discover too late the price they'll likely pay for fucking around in college and holding off on relationships until they have had some experiences? No? Me either. So why do we keep seeing this story about women?…

There's no insult in the English language like "slut": hurled as abuse, it can have a devastating impact. Being designated a "slut" can be reputation-ruining; however, it can also be taken as a compliment in certain situations, as a signifier of sexual attractiveness. A "good slut" is someone fun, sex-positive, and…

The terribly concerned folks who fret over so-called "hookup culture" usually a) believe that all college campuses resemble Animal House, b) think women should be passed from father to husband like a game of patriarchal "Hot Potato," and c) are researchers, apparently, because researchers loooooove studying the…

It's hard to be a nice guy in today's perilous world, what with all of the ladies — sorry, "princesses" — you gotta protect from the savage dragon that is "hook-up culture." Or at least that's what University of Michigan senior Jeffrey McMahon is arguing in his response to a recent Michigan Daily article about…

When we talk about "hookup culture" — the oft-lamented outcome of the sexual revolution, scourge of our era, and sole reason why 7-year-old girls can now purchase padded bikini tops at Abercrombie & Fitch — we almost always talk about everything women have lost since the good ol' days when women were protected by…

A new study on "hookup" culture, obviously the most pressing issue of our time, found that both men and women on college campuses "lose respect" for people who sleep around. That's right, we said people — researchers found that students of both sexes were looked down upon for acting too slutty. Progress! (That's…

Breaking news for anyone who has never tried alcohol or energy drinks, been to a bar or heard of sex before: A recent study by the nerds at the the University at Buffalo's Research Institute on Addictions has revealed that consuming alcohol with energy drinks (AmEDs) such as Red Bull can lead to more casual and risky…

College papers are often a megaphone for jerky guys to talk about how fat, ugly, or slutty their female classmates are. But now the shoe is on the other foot — a Yale student is getting a lot of attention for her column alleging that "guys at Yale are bad in bed."

When researchers asked college students to talk about a hookup scenario, they learned that "hookup culture" isn't nearly as male-dominated as many claim. And in some ways, dating may actually be worse for women.

A letter to my brother, and all his college friends:
College is awesome, right? No parents, no curfew, no rules, and there are girls everywhere. It is an alcohol-fueled, school-spirit-enhanced buffet of ladies, and it's hard not to want to sample everything on the menu. So you should!

Duke is in an uproar about a highly detailed "fuck list" that a recent female graduate made — in PowerPoint, complete with penis-size evaluations and dirty talk transcripts. We've got that document, and spoke exclusively to the now-contrite author.

Many a conservative tear has already been shed for the poor women deflowered and devalued by so-called hookup culture, but The Weekly Standard's Charlotte Allen explains how all this affects the ones who really matter: dudes.
